[PATCH v2 7/7] virtio-net: Describe RSS using receive queue handle

[Parav Pandit <parav@nvidia.com>]

The content of indirection table and unclassified_queue which are
based on math calculation historically. To better describe this, to
avoid intermixing array index with virtqueue index and to use virtqueue
number

introduce a field rq_handle (receive queue handle) and refer them
to describe unclassified_queue and indirection_table fields.

As part of it, have the example that uses non zero virtqueue
number which helps to have better mapping between receiveX
object with virtqueue number and the actual value in the
indirection table.
